Dry Chardonnay (<5g/l or up to 9g/l if TA <2g/l lower)

The 2024 vintage was harvested on 14 February at 23° Balling, with remarkable natural acidity —a rarity in a warm season. The fruit was crushed, pressed, and gently settled before fermentation in 300ℓ French oak barrels, 12% of which were new, the rest up to four years old. A combination of natural and selected yeasts guided a slow, six-week fermentation, culminating in mid-April. Given the vintage’s vibrant acidity, one-third of the blend underwent malolactic fermentation, lending depth and balance. Weekly bâtonnage until May enriched texture, while maturation in barrel until December 2024 ensured a harmonious integration of oak, unveiling a layered and expressive wine.

A bright gold hue with honeyed apple, cashew and butterscotch on the nose, this wine is a toast to the duo’s tenacity. This Chardonnay boasts vibrant and appealing acidity. Bold notes of tropical fruit, grapefruit, vanilla pod and a chalky minerality lightly dance across the palate which is matched by a silky finish.
